Things to Come

One year project (2017) developed with the important artist Sabina Maria Van Der Linden during her artistic residency in São Paulo (Brasil), presented at 55SP Gallery. The artists created a spoken word play. The piece crossed both artists' writing methodologies and their different spoken word practices. Among the themes were issues such as love, melancholy, depression, gender, sexuality, economics and politics. In addition to the performance, the artists created a booklet.

"The ones who can call themselves contemporary are only those who do not allow themselves to be blinded by the lights of the century, and so manage to get a glimpse of the shadows in those lights, of their intimate obscurity. Having said this much, we have nevertheless still-not addressed our question. Why should we be at all interested in perceiving the obscurity that emanates from the epoch? Is darkness not precisely an anonymous experience that is by definition impenetrable; something that is not directed at us and thus can not concern us? On the contrary, the contemporary is the person who perceives the darkness of his time as something that concerns him, as something that never ceases to engage him. Darkness is something that - more then light - turns directly and singularly toward him. The contemporary is the one whose eyes are stuck by the beam of darkness that comes from his own time." - giorgio agamben

ostro NYX (são paulo - feb. '19)

I started my artistic production in the early 2000s, connected with the queer post-punk and club scene in the city of São Paulo. At this time I devoted my attencion to poetry and zines. Later, I started working with text experimenting with performance, sound art and music. Since then, I flow nationally and internationally between circuits going through festivals, exhibitions, and so on. SoundCloud for recording live performances, shows, Live PAs, jams, etc. For tracks link brunomendonca.bandcamp.com and Spotify
